If they were 3/4 of the way to the division line as you say then no I would not have granted it....if I hear time-out, see that the ball is not yet at the disposal of the thrower, immediately turn around and confirm that it is the HC requesting it, then turn back and see that the ball is just now at the disposal of the thrower, I would still grant it in this situation, but there has to be some limit on this...there is some judgement involved....I agree with you on the loose ball situation though, I don't like it when a team gets bailed out or given an advantage by calling a TO when there is not yet control....this frustrates coaches to no end, but oh well too bad...
